Dust Sample Analysis
-
-
Gamma spectrometry is a technique used to measure and identify different radioactive elements based on their unique gamma-ray emissions.
-
cesium-137 (Cs-137)
an artificial radioactive element, meaning it does not naturally occur in the environment.
It is a byproduct of nuclear fission, which occurs during nuclear explosion

French nuclear testing in Algeria came to an end in 1967 – all other French tests were conducted in faraway French Polynesia (especially at Mururoa; cf. Marquesas) even up to 1996, long after the other big nuclear nations (especially the USA and USSR/Russia) had banned all such tests.

De Gaulle's government decision to secure plutonium from the an first operating. French nuclear reactors in order to obtain fission material for a French nuclear bomb.
The original purpose was to reprocess spent nuclear fuel from France's civilian and military reactors to extract plutonium.
